The Republic of Kanagraj is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Kanagrajians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kanagrajian economy, worth 1.19 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 45,638 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, military spending recently hit a new high, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and ghost regiments exist only on paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Kanagraj's national animal is the leopard.

Kanagraj is ranked 260,141^st in the world and 5,846^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -40.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
